LIABILITY FOR CRIMES COMMITTED USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: AN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL APPROACH
Keywords:
criminal liability, technological complicity, international criminal law, artificial intelligence, autonomy, quasi-subjectAbstract
The article analyzes the impact of the rapid development of artificial intelligence systems and autonomous technologies on criminal-legal relations, as well as the place and role of artificial intelligence and technologies operating on its basis in the field of criminal-legal regulation and related current problems. In addition, socially dangerous acts involving artificial intelligence are classified into three groups, with the role of artificial intelligence as a tool of crime, as well as cases related to its independent decision-making, being considered separately. The work proposes defining the legal status of artificial intelligence as a quasi-subject and examines the concept of technological co-participation. The necessity of unifying international criminal law in the context of digital transformation, as well as ensuring a balance between technological progress and the protection of human rights, is substantiated.
